Job description
As a Transportation Engineering Assistant Project Manager for Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) in our Pittsburgh, PA office, you will support the growth of the firm in the transportation industry while working with project teams to deliver roadway design solutions for public sector, commercial, and industrial clients. You will take part in a wide range of transportation projects, contributing to geometric studies, roadway alignments, drainage design, construction staging, and the preparation of engineering reports, plans, and cost estimates.
From preliminary concepts through final design and construction support, you will play an active role in developing transportation improvements that serve local communities and regional infrastructure needs. Your work will include preparing design calculations, producing construction plans, coordinating project tasks, and supporting quality project submittals for highway and local road projects.
You will work closely with Project Managers and Principals to plan and execute projects, manage task schedules and budgets, and coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to address project-specific needs. You will also mentor junior staff, assist with project documentation and contract administration, and support business development efforts by helping identify new opportunities and contributing to proposal and interview materials.
At CEC, our employees enjoy a flexible/hybrid work schedule. Our comprehensive benefits package includes bonus recognition, based on performance, as well as participation in our employee stock ownership program. Additionally, we conduct mid-year and end-of-year performance reviews and provide goal-setting opportunities.
Endless perks are available to employees at CEC! Our office boasts a full-scale gym, cafe serving breakfast and lunch, and recreation rooms-creating the perfect balance of wellness and productivity. Throughout the year, employees enjoy ping pong, pool, cornhole, and pickleball tournaments as well as the annual summer picnic, themed happy hours, and fun team building activities including go-kart racing and curling! We also understand the importance of reaching beyond the office and giving back to the community-CEC employees volunteer for trail workdays to enhance local parks, maintain a CEC-designed pollinator garden for our office campus, and organize an annual charity golf tournament. At CEC Pittsburgh, we pride ourselves on fostering a culture of connection, collaboration, and growth within the office and in our community.
- 4+ years of relevant experience required
- Some task lead or project management experience preferred
- Ability and desire to mentor junior staff
- EIT certification and desire to obtain P.E. license
- Public sector transportation experience required
- Proficiency in roadway grading and layout design using software such as Bentley Microstation, Bentley OpenRoads Designer, and/or AutoCAD Civil 3D
- Experience in roadway geometric design, pavement design, construction document preparation, and right-of-way plan preparation
- Experience in proposal preparation and engineering fee estimating a plus
- Experience in drainage, hydrology and hydraulics, stormwater management, erosion and sediment pollution control, and utilities a plus
- Experience in traffic engineering, streetscape design or safety engineering a plus
We have experts! CEC is consistently ranked as a Top 500 Design Firm and Top 200 Environmental Firm by Engineering News-Record. We are looking for people who enjoy using their education and experience to solve difficult technical problems and work on interesting projects. You can accomplish this while working with a team of professionals who are equally motivated to provide high levels of service to our clients and to teach you along the way.
We have support!

CEC offers you a small-firm work environment with large-firm opportunities. Not only will we help you develop professionally, but we will also provide an opportunity to become an owner of the firm and share in its success.
